Somebody in Turkey has no expectation that they will be treated with respect. It's much more likely they will be attacked as in "shoot the messenger." (So, please don't attack the person who brought this to our attention.) I think they made a reasonable decision, due to the critical nature of this bug, and tweeted about it.

But throwing it on twitter doesn't stop you from using the DMCA, and having the DMCA used against you doesn't stop you from posting it on Twitter as counter-measure (which might make the company retract the use of DMCA to avoid publicity about suing "messengers"). If you're afraid of DMCA, keep your mouth shut and stay away from the US. The DMCA is a disgusting and absurd set of laws that can always make me angry. Its existence alone proves very much how big companies can rule with money, placing capitalism over democracy.
